Hear Wilfred Owen`s famous poem. The poet was killed 7 days before the end of World War 1.

The tone is absolutely perfect in this reading, thank you very much!
-
@falstaffswims Exactly.
-
music too loud! (and the guns)
-
Thankyou for this.
-
@falstaffswims ...and before "Platoon", it was poignantly featured in "The Elephant Man". An apt pairing if I do say so myself.
-
could have done without the sound effects but yet a very moving poem

It's a poem 'for' the dead boys, the doomed youth, and the personal, quiet mourning that is done for them; not all pomp and ritual but genuine 'in their eyes, shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes', 'bugles calling for them from sad shires', 'each, slow dusk a drawing down of blinds'. It's not about glory or bravery at all, it's about the tragedy of war.

Nicely done: Barber's piece (a.k.a. "Theme from Platoon) had almost turned into a cliche, and has even perverted to suggest the heroics of war... alongside Wilfred Owen, though, it's perfect. Such an awful, monstrously awful world we've inherited: we're still fighting wars. We're still tacitly celebrating them. Thank god for Wilfred Owen: here's the beautifully honest, hideous truth.
